Prepare your cashflow.
Payday Super Starts 1 July 2026

Australia’s new Payday Super rules mean employers must pay Superannuation Guarantee (SG) at the same time as wages — not quarterly. Super contributions will generally need to reach the employee’s fund within 7 business days of payday.

This shift means faster super for employees and new compliance steps for employers.

What Employers Need to Know

- SG paid every payday instead of quarterly
- Payments must reach funds within 7 business days (first payment for new employees has up to 20 business days)
- Payroll and cash‑flow systems will need updating to handle more frequent payments
- ATO Small Business Super Clearing House closes 1 July 2026, so users must move to another SuperStream solution

Minimum pay rates are increasing for eligible employees in the aged care and health sectors, including direct aged care workers and some nurses.

These increases apply from the first full pay period starting on (or after) 1 October 2025.

Note the full increase has already taken effect for some employees so they won’t receive any additional increase as part of these changes.

Be careful how you use AI. It can sound confident, even when it’s wrong.

AI is a tool that can be great for:
✅ simplifying tax jargon
✅ saving time
✅ helping you sound smarter in emails 😉

⚠️But here’s the catch.

AI isn’t always correct, because it:
❌ doesn’t know your actual situation
❌ can’t access your records
❌ might give outdated or incomplete info
❌ doesn’t give personalised advice.

Use our website as the source of truth for your tax and super info.

You can also check with a tax professional.

Did you know that 7 out of 10 Australian businesses are family owned?

From local cafes and farms to construction businesses, they are the backbone of our communities.

But we know it’s not always easy. When the dining table becomes the board table, there’s no "clocking off." You invest your whole life, and the emotional and financial stakes are high.

Today is National Family Business Day, and it’s dedicated to celebrating family-owned businesses who drive innovation, create jobs, and enrich our communities.

Support your local family owned businesses.
